Mary Hopkin Recording "Those Were the Days" / The Beatles Original "Revolution" Promo Film

Black and white footage of Mary Hopkin in the studio (Peter Asher in the control booth) recording the Spanish version of "Those Were the Days" ("Que Tiempo Tan Feliz"). At the end of the video, the Beatles' promo video for "Revolution" is shown, with what sounds like to me more of the "live" audio than most versions that later circulated (which largely overdub the official recording).
